<span>I believe the answer is B)Diuretic therapy
</span>
The patient has alkalosis(pH 7.49), increased respiratory rate (20/min) and decreased carbon dioxide level(<span>pCO2 30). These findings point to respiratory alkalosis. 
The reason for increased respiratory rate probably because of heart failure that is shown by the decreased </span>cardiac index, pO2, <span>crackles, and wheezes. The treatment for congestive heart failure is to decrease the preload and blood pressure by giving a strong diuretic like furosemide.</span>

The wave mechanical model of the atom is required to explain the
dlinn [17]

The wave-mechanical model of the atom is required to explain the spectra of elements with multi electron atoms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wave mechanical theory say that every electron surrounding a nucleus occupies a certain orbit and moves in a certain direction, but the orbit is like a wave of energy or cloud but not a ring. It was proposed in the 1920s, when scientists Erwin Schrodinger and Louis Victor de Broglie concluded that the Bohr’s model is not suitable for electron location determination.

Based on many assumptions, scientists began to guess as accurately as possible about the behaviour of electrons at different energy levels around the nucleus. Because all electrons are negatively charged, they tend to push their elbows when they are too close together, moving away and changing direction. Each plane has one or more orbits that have more than one electrons that move around the nucleus in a specific patterns or shape.

The half-life of substance-X is 5 minutes. If you start with 20g of substance-X, how much substance-X is leftover after 5 minute
timurjin [86]
<span>At 20g with half-life of 5 minutes there would be 10g leftover in 5 minutes. In 10 mins, there would be 5g leftover. Half-life is actually what it says, it refers to time it takes for half of the active elements, etc to break down at which time the potency of the "product" is half as strong. This term is used mainly with radioactive items or medicines.</span>

Find the volume of 20.0 g of benzene. It's density is 0.88g/mL
damaskus [11]
d=0,88\frac{g}{mL}\\&#10;m=20g\\\\&#10;d=\frac{m}{V} \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ V=\frac{m}{d}\\\\\&#10;V=\frac{20g}{0,88\frac{g}{mL}}\approx22,73mL
